Run for Girls 2018

Run For Girls’ Rights

For many girls in the developing world, the double discrimination of gender and age has placed them at a disadvantaged position. They are often denied access to health services and education, and succumb to violence, abuse, and harassment. Run For Girls is a female charity run co-organized by Plan International Hong Kong and Cosmopolitan with the aim of fighting for and promoting girls’ rights and justice, protecting girls in developing countries from discrimination, inequality and violence.

Now is your chance to make a difference to the lives of disadvantaged girls. By participating in the event, Run for Girls, you can help them Run toward a brighter future!

# The run is only open to female of 15 years old or above. Other forms of support like making donations and volunteering in the event are welcome.

Why 10.11Km?

To respond to the International Day of the Girl Child on October 11 and to promote girls’ rights, so as to tackle gender inequality, discrimination and the abuse suffered by girls around the world.

Why join 3Km?
